Rapid Wien - Austria Wien predictions

Rapid Wien should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Austria Wien can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

The away team’s chances of winning this Sunday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Rapid Wien, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The hosts are coming on the back of a disappointing draw at Grazer AK. Although they played as visitors, the bookies were quite optimistic about their chances of taking 3 points, and they even took the lead in the first half. It’s a shame they lost all momentum before the end.

Austria Wien’s performance in the first half against Ried was disheartening, considering they entered the field as slight favourites. However, they equalized in the last 45-minutes and proceeded to snag a narrow, but well-earned 3:2 away win.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Austria Wien have hit a bit of a purple patch recently with 3 consecutive victories, and they’ll no doubt be looking to extend it in round 8.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when Rapid Wien walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 2.00 odds.
